The Eisenhower Matrix: A Quick Recap

For the uninitiated, the Eisenhower Matrix is a time management tool that divides tasks into four quadrants:

• Q1: Urgent and Important — Crisis management central.
• Q2: Not Urgent but Important — The sweet spot for growth and strategy.
• Q3: Urgent but Not Important — The land of distractions.
• Q4: Not Urgent and Not Important — The abyss of time-wasting.

My Q2 Obsession

I am obsessed with Q2 — see here. When I spend time in Q2 I see the results. When I lack results — I consider where I’ve been spending time. Often it’s in Q1 and Q4 — although Q3 features as well. Then I recalibrate and refocus.

Quadrant 2 (Q2), is the quadrant where we should strive to spend the bulk of our time. It’s where strategy, growth, and optimum living reside.
